Kate Grenville – The Country Schoolmaster.
One of Australia’s most celebrated writers joins us for an evening exploring her latest work.
Rummaging through the Archives one afternoon, Kate Grenville unearths 88 letters tracing the mysterious life of a schoolteacher in country New South Wales. What first appears simple soon reveals itself to be something far more curious and complex. Was Joseph Connor savagely beating the students in his care? Or was he the victim of a small-town vendetta? And what went so terribly wrong between him and his daughter?
Part locked-room mystery, part colonial cold case.
An evening of canapes, conversation and a book like no other.
